The late King of this Country has been publickly executed. He died in a Manner becoming his Dignity. Mounting the Scaffold he express’d anew his Forgiveness of those who persecuted him and a Prayer that his deluded People might be benefited by his Death. On the Scaffold he attempted to speak but the commanding Officer Santerre ordered the Drums to be beat. The King made two unavailing Efforts but with the same bad Success. The Executioners threw him down and were in such Haste as to let fall the Axe before his Neck was properly placed so that he was mangled. It would be needless to give you an affecting Narrative of Particulars.

--Gouverneur Morris to Thomas Jefferson, 25 January 1793.

#louis xvi #french history #french revolution #letters #quotes #!! finally a contemporary claim that the execution was botched. #John Hardman writes that it was it was because his neck was “too fat to fit” but he provides no citation for it. #I went down this rabbit hole before but it was before a bunch of stressful stuff happened and I can't remember what I learned

current mood: repeatedly banging my head into the wall because of animes that have Major Important Events happening over the span of decades before the "main story" even starts, but have NO ACTUAL OFFICIAL TIMELINE for when these Major Important Events ACTUALLY HAPPEN, forcing you to dive SO DEEP into reddit pages (and manga panels and anime screenshots and wiki pages and character data booklets) that you wind up with a master's degree in that anime JUST so you can piece together what MIGHT be a semi-viable timeline of historical events in the show that STILL has holes in it because the actual show decided "timeline? what timeline? we work on dramatic timing alone lol" was a reasonable organizational method.

if this seems very pointed and specific, it's BECAUSE IT IS.

#like. dont get me wrong i love this show and this world and this everything #but WHEN DID ANYTHING ACTUALLY HAPPEN. #we have a rough series of events but next to no details on how much time happened between them #which is NOT HELPFUL for someone who. say. is trying to put together a fix-it au based on changing some of those specific historical events #because that means that I AM THE ONE who has to put together a viable timeline that makes sense in MY head for everything to work #because i cant just work off vibes alone as much as i desperately want to. ive gotta have an actual timeline. Ive Gotta. #which leads to late night spirals down internet rabbit holes when i should be working on homework #catch me outside screaming into the void at midnight trying to make sense of when shit went down based on how old chars look in flashbacks #anyway. #catch me with a red string board after graduation trying to finally make this all make sense so i can finally write this brainrot au #this is the mkoverse tag

(I was initially curious which of the women linked to Harry got these 'get to know' articles. Turns out all of them unless they're already well known)

#these intro articles are part of the stunt playbook #I went down a Harrys dating history rabbit hole and one or two I didnt even know about #I found out that most news publications have an article on Harrys dating history #usually titled 'the comprehensive dating history of Harry Styles' #I know that this is part of harrys closet but it also seems like Harry the walking billboard either promoting some brand or some woman now #isnt it about time he finally has a stable relationship image and loses the womaniser image #sad that these women who have jobs and talent need to stunt to improve their career #Harry Styles #stunts #closeting #pr relationships #Harry image #mine

#i'm not thrilled with the anatomy in some of these but that's not the focus so it's fine(<<said through gritted teeth) #I am getting better at shading (I think) which is nice #also this was a lot of fun and I went down a rabbit hole finding ref pics so expect more #(esp since i'm in finals rn and struggling to write) #cypress draws

everyone on here freaking out about whatever is gonna happen in the new 9-1-1 episode tonight and im just over here watching s1 for the first time and having mild breakdown about it

#i just watched the s1 finale #i love buck so much like so so much #he is so good?? and kind?? #im so in love #im also so invested in just everything about the show i wasn't expecting to actually love it as much as i do #also so hyped to start s2 because eddie🥰 #i do know pretty much every major plot point in the show because i became invested in it through stuff i saw on here #and then went down a big youtube rabbit hole and a slightly smaller ao3 rabbit hole before actually starting the show #so im already in love with eddie and hes not even been introduced yet for me #it also means im almost as excited to see what happens in tonights episode #through like gifs and stuff on here as everyone else is to actually watch the episode #normally i very much try to avoid spoilers for stuff i watch but because of the backwards way ive become obsessed with this show #i so dont care at all #its such a fun way of consuming media honestly #wow ive really rambled in these tags shoutout to anyone actually reading them lol

on a less whiny note, i got really into the villain from zelda: skyward sword, and because of that i'm properly reading and writing fanfic again for the first time in a good long while

Ohhh that's lovely! I've been going without fanfic (both reading and writing) for a long time myself and it sucks, I missed stuffing my brain with fictional little guys in made up scenarios. Lately started reading again, too, but didn't quite make it to the writing yet.

It's great you're getting that writing groove back, and I saw you even did art a while back? That's so cool man, I remember when we talked about being shitty at art and I just kept being shitty at art because I didn't bother doing something against it, but you made art and it looked good and ahh, very exciting!

That said, I saw you posted on AO3 in November so I'll go find and read that right now!

#for me unsurprisingly it's still the ffxv boys that make my brain go brr #tho lately i've been mostly stuffing final fantasy vii into my brain because i played remake and then went down the rabbit hole #but i'm really only doing that for cloud because he is a DARLING and i love him #haven't been able to read fanfics in fear of spoilers up until now yet but now i SHALL #anyway #personal

Rebecca Sugar/the crewniverse really crafted such a complex situation around Rose’s decision to have Steven I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about it. Even when I’m just having the same old thoughts on it there’s still so much to consider it doesn’t feel old or boring. They did a fucking fantastic job of just how many layers there are to the whole thing you can just get lost in it

#like I’ll have a random thought about Rose and the next thing I know #i catch myself an hour later having gone down a mental rabbit hole into the whole situation again #what went into her choice (which is still up for debate and a complex question in and of itself) #what were the others reactions when they found out? how did they act through the pregnancy? Pearl in particular I have Thoughts on #what were the conversations like? #how did Rose feel? when she had achieved what she wanted and it was a done deal? as the days got closer to the end? #fuck it’s just. so fascinating #don’t get me started on the actual end. i go feral thinking about everyone in Roses final moments #this is 2:30am rambling but it does hold true in the day. i literally think about this all the time

love sitting in front of assignments until 1:30 in the morning

#this is half sarcastic and half genuine #it's sarcastic bc actually my personal fun time starts at 10pm!! where i finally go do stuff i WANNA do #which these day is mostly watching thdrama lol (unless i fall into a youtube rabbit hole of PROBABLY sth gmmtv acots related lmao) #(like watching fanmeet and concert fancams and stuff) #but it's also genuine bc i'm a night owl and my brain just works best in the middle of the night #so i was able to do my assignment without getting distracted too easily or procrastination #and i was muuuuch faster than i would have been during the day (ESP in the morning) bc my brain was actually WITH me #cooperating with me can you believe (my brain hasn't cooperated with me all semester!!) #but it's just depressing when you finish an assignment and immediately have to go to sleep without doing fun stuff :( #i didn't get to do fun stuff all day bc in the morning i was doing some chores and working on a presentation #then a uni colleague came over to run through said presentation bc it's a partner assignment #then i had to practice vocabulary #then i had class after which i went shopping #then i had dinner then did the dishes and then immediately sat down for my assignment #no fun things for me today :( #it's ok tho bc tomorrow a friend who lives in a different federal state is spending the night #which is why today i was working on uni stuff past 10pm so that tomorrow i'll have time for my friend #that'll make up for today!!!!!​ i'm excited to see my friend he's my 2nd most important friend #airenyah plappert #ok no i REALLY need to go to sleep bc tomorrow i have even more uni stuff to do before my friend arrives

This is insane but what if I relistened to TMA 🤔

#got a random like on my jontim ramblings from back when i finally finished it lol #and then i went down a bit of a rabbit hole #and well it's almost October #maybe it's not so crazy #i have my criticisms of it's late game but overall the spooky stories and the final prestige saved it the journey was good #well except that I'm the only hater in the world that doesn't like Martin so that makes chunks of it not to my taste #but Helen gets me thru the apocalypse arc LMAO i just... don't want to listen to the clown stuff #making them a huge part of it felt like such a big mistake to the entire series to me in a massive way can't overstate it #i mean i get it's a classic fear but it should have gotten it's showcase and put back in the box... #is fear of clowns greater in Britain is clowning still big over there #text posts

I went down the internet rabbit hole trying to figure out wtf vegan cheese is made of and I found articles like this one speaking praises of new food tech startups creating vegan alternatives to cheese that Actually work like cheese in cooking so I was like huh that's neat and I looked up more stuff about 'precision fermentation' and. This is not good.

Basically these new biotech companies are pressuring governments to let them build a ton of new factories and pushing for governments to pay for them or to provide tax breaks and subsidies, and the factories are gonna cost hundreds of millions of dollars and require energy sources. Like, these things will have to be expensive and HUGE

I feel like I've just uncovered the tip of the "lab grown meat" iceberg. There are a bajillion of these companies (the one mentioned in the first article a $750 MILLION tech startup) that are trying to create "animal-free" animal products using biotech and want to build large factories to do it on a large scale

I'm trying to use google to find out about the energy requirements of such facilities and everything is really vague and hand-wavey about it like this article that's like "weeeeeell electricity can be produced using renewables" but it does take a lot of electricity, sugars, and human labor. Most of the claims about its sustainability appear to assume that we switch over to renewable electricity sources and/or use processes that don't fully exist yet.

I finally tracked down the source of some of the more radical claims about precision fermentation, and it comes from a think tank RethinkX that released a report claiming that the livestock industry will collapse by 2030, and be replaced by a system they're calling...

Food-as-Software, in which individual molecules engineered by scientists are uploaded to databases – molecular cookbooks that food engineers anywhere in the world can use to design products in the same way that software developers design apps.

I'm finding it hard to be excited about this for some odd reason

Where's the evidence for lower environmental impacts. That's literally what we're here for.

There will be an increase in the amount of electricity used in the new food system as the production facilities that underpin it rely on electricity to operate.

well that doesn't sound good.

This will, however, be offset by reductions in energy use elsewhere along the value chain. For example, since modern meat and dairy products will be produced in a sterile environment where the risk of contamination by pathogens is low, the need for refrigeration in storage and retail will decrease significantly.

Oh, so it will be better for the Earth because...we won't need to refrigerate. ????????

Oh Lord Jesus give me some numerical values.

Modern foods will be about 10 times more efficient than a cow at converting feed into end products because a cow needs energy via feed to maintain and build its body over time. Less feed consumed means less land required to grow it, which means less water is used and less waste is produced. The savings are dramatic – more than 10-25 times less feedstock, 10 times less water, five times less energy and 100 times less land.

There is nothing else in this report that I can find that provides evidence for a lower carbon footprint. Supposedly, an egg white protein produced through a similar process has been found to reduce environmental impacts, but mostly everything seems very speculative.

And crucially none of these estimations are taking into account the enormous cost and resource investment of constructing large factories that use this technology in the first place (existing use is mostly for pharmaceutical purposes)

It seems like there are more tech startups attempting to use this technology to create food than individual scientific papers investigating whether it's a good idea. Seriously, Google Scholar and JSTOR have almost nothing. The tech of the sort that RethinkX is describing barely exists.

Apparently Liberation Labs is planning to build the first large-scale precision fermentation facility in Richmond, Indiana come 2024 because of the presence of "a workforce experienced in manufacturing"

And I just looked up Richmond, Indiana and apparently, as of RIGHT NOW, the town is in the aftermath of a huge fire at a plastics recycling plant and is full of toxic debris containing asbestos and the air is full of toxic VOCs and hydrogen cyanide. ???????????? So that's how having a robust industrial sector is working out for them so far.
